A dialing detail people often miss in Chile
The easy mistake on Chile calls is carrying the local written version straight into the international one. A number written locally as 9 6123 4567 is usually dialed as +56 9 6123 4567 from abroad. Prefixes still help, but portability means they are not perfect clues about the live carrier and sometimes not even the live service type.

Area codes and number shapes in Chile
Chile is easy once you separate the mobile rhythm from the geographic landline rhythm. Santiago desk numbers usually keep a 2 area code, while mobiles normally keep the leading 9.
Mobiles: 9
Personal mobiles usually keep 9

Keep the full regional code
Regional landlines use other geographic openings
If the destination is outside Santiago, keep the full regional opening instead of assuming every desk line behaves like the capital.
